The Rough Hunter’s Little Lucky Wife Chapter 273 Drooling

273 Drooling
Using poison to force a shop to close down was a common and underhanded trick.
However, this person had taken a life the moment he attacked, and his actions were so ruthless. Zhao Zhan had originally guessed that the mastermind behind this could have been Shang.
However, the appearance of Yu San increased Zhao Zhan’s vigilance against Lin Chenzhi.
There were no such coincidences in the world.
Yu San’s coincidental appearance and effort must be related to this matter.
“What a coincidence,” Zhao Zhan said meaningfully. “Chen Xiaolang, take the guests back to the shop.”
“The truth is out. The old man’s poisoning had nothing to do with the food from Hundred Flavors Restaurant. This person must’ve colluded with the old man’s son to frame him!
“My shop is clean and we have honest staff, and I welcome everyone to come more often in the future.
“Everyone must be tired from standing for too long. It’s better to disperse and go home to rest. As for these tricksters, I will definitely hand them over to the County Magistrate for strict interrogation.”
Chen Xiaolang had high social awareness. He did not take the initiative to attack today because he was afraid of being trashed. When he heard Zhao Zhan’s instructions, he used all his strength to drag the young man and Yu San into the house and tie them to the chairs. Then, he came back and carried the old man to the room in the backyard with Zhao Zhan.
“Sir, you barely escaped death and damaged your body. You should rest a while to recuperate.”
“Thank you…”
The old man grabbed Zhao Zhan’s robe. His body was hunched, and he was so thin that only bones were left. He raised his head and looked at Zhao Zhan with eyes full of sadness. “About my son…”
He couldn’t say anything to plead.
Zhao Zhan couldn’t forgive such a cruel man who planned on killing his father. His lips were stretched into a straight line as he shook his head.
The old man’s hand trembled as he put it down. Zhao Zhan’s heart ached at the sight and he hurriedly went to the front.
“Zhao Zhan! I’m from the Lin family of Bei City! If you dare to touch me, the Lin family will not let you off!”
“I don’t care who the Lin family are.”
Zhao Zhan kicked Yu San in the chest, and he smashed into the wall with his chair.
Yu San howled in pain.
The bones in his chest and back seemed to have been broken. He lay limply on the ground and looked at Zhao Zhan with fear in his eyes.
He was just a country bumpkin.
How could he have such a bloodthirsty gaze?
Zhao Zhan held back his anger.
He was angry at the Lin family’s scheme, which caused Yue Jiaojiao to have no family or friends.
His heartache turned into anger. He grabbed Yu San’s neck and lifted him up from the ground and pressed him against the wall.
“You people from the Lin family are always pretentious. You may look magnanimous on the surface, but you’re actually very narrow-minded.
“Was it because of the carriage incident on the road? Is that why you have a grudge now?
“Or was it because of the mountain ginger?”
Yu Shan couldn’t speak and could only sigh.
His hands kept patting Zhao Zhan’s arms.
The old man’s son looked on from the side with his legs tightly pressed together, and his whole body trembled.
This person was ruthless.
He just wanted some silver.
Zhao Zhan waited until Yu San’s face turned blue and purple before he let go.
Yu Shan slid down the wall like wet mud, covering his neck and lying on the ground.
“I’ll talk.”
Zhao Zhan came closer, and Yu San hurriedly said, “My master made me do it. He doesn’t like you, so he wants your shop to close down. No one survives my master’s attacks.”
Yu San was lying on the ground, his expression was hard to see.
“Chen Xiaolang, later on, please go to Huai County and personally send these two people to the county government. I will write a letter for you to bring along.”
It was better to be sent to the county government than to die. The old man’s son didn’t even have the courage to struggle.
Someone was knocking on the door. Yue Jiaojiao, who had been standing in the corner, heard the commotion and walked over. “That should be Xiangjun and Tianliu.”
The door opened.
The beauty was unforgettable.
Lin Chenzhi had never seen such an alluring lady.
Her figure was delicate. It seemed like the wind would blow her away. Her gaze could instantly attract people’s attention. Moreover, she looked a little familiar.
When he thought of his cousin, whose fate was unknown, Lin Chenzhi’s gaze on Yue Jiaojiao hid a dark glint of determination.
His cousin’s soul had passed away. Now that he had stayed in the mountain gaze and pretended to search for her for a long time, his inner uneasiness was gone.
If his dead cousin knew that he had fallen for a woman who was similar to her when she was young, she would also be very pleased, right?
“Hello,” Lin Chenzhi said with a self-righteous smile, “I’m Lin Chengzhi from the Lin family of Bei City.”
Yue Jiaojiao slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
Zhao Zhan heard the commotion and quickly walked over. He grabbed Yue Jiaojiao’s wrist and whispered into her ear, “Should I ask Chen Xiaolang to take you to the back door to rest first?”
“There’s no need,” Yue Jiaojiao frowned slightly. “Today’s events have proven that Lin Chenzhi is a petty person who will definitely seek revenge for the smallest grievance. If I hide today, he’ll get to the bottom of it. I don’t think he recognized me. He’s an extremely hypocritical person, what a vile way to live.”
Yue Jiaojiao didn’t have much of an impression of Lin Chenzhi in her recovered memories.
After all, she was young then and Lin Chenzhi spent most of his time studying in the academy, so they didn’t spend much time together.
But she didn’t expect that the noble and scholarly young man whose face couldn’t be seen clearly in her memory would actually grow up to look like this.
“Zhao Zhan?”
Lin Chenzhi then knocked on the door. “If Zhao Zhan isn’t here, could the lady from earlier come and open the door? If I have offended you in any way, I will like to apologize to you.”
Yue Jiaojiao took this opportunity to take out the rouge and face powder that she had left in the shop the last time.
She rounded the corners of her inner eyes, then made her nose look a little lower. She casually drew a few lines, and upon a closer look, it seemed like there was no change. However, for some reason, there was still a slight difference in her appearance.
She covered up the similarities between how she used to look and now, making her look less childish.
The door was knocked again.
Zhao Zhan walked over and opened the door. His eyes were pitch-black, and there was no light in them. “What do you want?”
He didn’t even want to greet the other person politely.
Lin Chenzhi’s expression did not change. He stood where he was, calm and composed. “I’m here to discuss the transfer of the secret recipe with you.”
As he spoke, his eyes looked past Zhao Zhan and into the room. It was a pity that the beauty was being blocked by the boorish man.
“I’m not selling it.”
“Zhao Zhan, wait.” Lin Chenzhi pressed on the door.”The food in your shop has killed someone. ‘m kindly advising you to sell the recipe as soon as possible before it gets worse. You can still get some silver back. Otherwise, with your appearance, you’d never have a lady in your arms.”
He was very strong. It was obvious that he had been specially trained.
“Zhao Zhan, are you not going to invite me in?”
Lin Chenzhi was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly remembered something. “By the way, are my subordinates here?”
